Anyone know anything about these things? Dealer nearby is blowing them out, they look pretty nice at under $3k new.

Looks like the Pontiac Aztek of mountain bikes.

Other than that, I've got nothing.

I was looking at the white/orange one and thinking props for the next Star Wars: Attack of the freeriders

My understanding is that the company is a vanity project owned by a handful of California bros. I'd be kinda surprised if the company still exists 5 years from now.

I rode one at interbike when the company first started. Made it about 500 feet before I hit a rock and exploded the rear wheel, so impressions are very limited. But in those 500 feet, it got a solid meh.

And they're fugly.

Reading this I immediately thought of my first time on a GG back in the early aluminum days when it was all about "custom" suspension. I didn't figure they were going to last real long, either, but they surprised for a while. Damn.
